Hello everyone. We're back with our final challenge for the year. This is also a bitter-sweet post for me, since this is the last challenge that the current Design Team is making samples for. So we're going out with a bang by showcasing Sequins, Sequins and More Sequins - an iconic embellishment for Neat & Tangled, since Danielle pretty much started this trend!

Well I hope you had a lovely time with us. I sure had a great time running things behind the scene here, throwing the Birthday Bash event here with so many Neat & Tangled fans, work with such a talented Design Team, and getting to know so many new lovely faces through the challenges. I also had a wonderful time working with Danielle.

Please make a point to visit the girl's blogs and see what little parting message they have for you.

And when they new Design Team gets announced shortly, please remember to welcome them with a big, warm hello, like you have with us. I know that the new team is a fire-cracker team - and they won't disappoint with their creativity.

Lastly, we would like to wish all of you and your families a wonderful holiday. We hope you will have some time to just enjoy each other's company and look forward to a new and rewarding New Year.

Thank you all again for your wonderful support here and we will meet again in blog-land.

For the challenge today, I made a Christmas card! The color theme was gold and white, so elegant and festive!! First I took a piece of white cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot machine with a polka dot embossing folder. Afterwards, I die cut with a bracket die from the same piece. I adhered it to a top folding card with foam dots. Next, I took a die cut snowflake and covered it with Stickles glitter. I glued it down to my cardbase. With the stamp set, Simple Christmas I stamped a wreath in Versa Mark ink and covered it with gold embossing powder. I also did the same for the banner. I attached gold twine to the top of the wreath and tucked it under the base layer. For a finishing touch, I added some gold sequins from Neat and Tangled! :)
